Can anyone tell me, how to keep the format?
You need to replace the new lines with <br> tags.
One way is a change node using the regular expression (?:\r\n|\r|\n) which replaces DOS \r\n as well as Unix \n
You need the display to use a fixed-width font and to retain the line-feeds. In HTML, the easy way to do that is to wrap the text with <pre>...</pre>. You can use a template to do that.

Only pitty a little bit that the font was changed, but I can live with that.
@TotallyInformation and @jbudd , thank you all guys for your help, I appreciate it very much.
Is that output to a template? I tried it with a UI text node.
Anyway of course Julian's answer was better!
